Pages that have content, but are not finished and still missing something specific. Add the following code to any section of a page that needs work: {{todo|what needs to be done}}.

This is a list of things to do, copied and edited from the to do page on the old wiki. If you have some spare time, please do try and fulfill some of them at least partially.

Upkeep

  • Please look through all the categories in Category:RRUKB maintenance and work on anything in those categories that you can!
  • Click HERE to visit a random page - work on anything you find that needs work!
  • Go to each category and click "What Links Here." Categories should not be linked to by main articles or redirects, as they are only meant for sorting purposes, not reading. If a category is being used as an article, a proper article should be made, or a section on a pre-existing article should be made to reference the articles in that category.

Guidelines

  • Modernization - "The wiki is meant to escape the traditional look of the old wiki and use better design and web standards." Not entirely sure what Cyrem meant by this, but I've been trying to just write out simple pages with images and such so far, without any of the usual bogged-down wiki infobox stuff, so whether this is good or not it should still be easy to fix any issues from here.
  • IMPORTANT! We need definitive contributing guide for basic wiki editing and uploading!
  • Generally, try to write articles with the intention of structuring the wiki into three separate pseudo-categories.
    • Themes - Everything about a theme, sets, characters, media, concept etc...
    • Video games - Everything about particular video games and what is in them. There "shouldn't" be overlap between Themes and Video games as Themes describe the Intellectual Property as a whole whereas VG detail a particular product. When two pages arise, e.g Characters of Theme, Characters of video game, these should be two pages: [Theme] Characters explains characters from a product perspective, appearances, advertising, marketed personality, sets etc., while [VG] Characters - Explains characters as they appear in the video game, purpose, function, interactions, graphics, appearances, variations etc.
      • I still don't understand the physical and game minifigure split, what is there to actually say about the physical minifigures without mentioning their backstory that deserves a page separate from the sets they appear in?
    • Modding - game mods, technical info about file formats, configuration, modding tutorials and modding tools. Also included Rock Raiders United-related info, though this will probably mostly fall under the RRU Knowledge Base pagename.
    • Material about canon story is kind of its own fourth pseudo-category, being divided between the Theme and Video Game sections depending on which end the story behind it more comes from. While writing, it'd probably be better to think of it as more of a Canon-Product split in writing styles - eg, the pages Hover Scout and 4910 Hover Scout.
  • Rework and remake a lot of templates - the old wiki had a lot of archaic and ugly templates, new ones should be more simple and flow with existing design. I have not done a good job at this so far, and a number of infoboxes are kinda ugly - though most so far are "hey finish working on this" boxes
    • ~~Maybe a universal box template could be developed, and all the existing box templates could use that one as a base?~~ Did it!
    • Need someone who knows a lot about wiki coding to help with this!
  • Less repetitive linking - Some pages link to other pages on nearly every mention of a word (e.g Crystal), A word should only be linked to a page at most- a few times depending on the length of the page. The first mention should always be linked. Additional times should only be linked if there is a lot of text between each link or if it's crucial to something being explained, eg. a list in the middle of a page.

Rewriting articles

Good pages: ???% - go to Category:WIP pages!

  • Rock Raiders vehicles: Most pages are good, but may want more descriptive descriptions of the vehicles themselves, unless a picture being worth a thousand words applies here. Specific locations in PS1 levels may also be desired once the level pages have been fleshed out. Appearances in other media for some too.

Stuff to do still:

  • Modding tools - Probably some of the most underdeveloped and unhelpful pages from the original wiki.
  • Rock Raiders missions
    • Figure out what to do with levels page - should there be one on its own or just a list on the game pages?
    • Make list of all custom levels and mods <-- did not document things outside of Baz's Mod and Time Raiders well before
  • Rock Raiders canon:
  • Rock types: Opening paragraph might need rewriting, maybe not.
  • Rock Raiders SYSTEM sets:
    • Part lists for all sets are a mess, with no consistency to their organization and dead links in some cases since peeron has changed since it was written. We may even want to move away from peeron to a more reliable, better quality site, though it seems every parts list site has a fair number of flaws
    • Do we want to host instruction manuals on here? And if so, would it be better to switch to PDF format?
    • IMPORTANT! Better scans of the box art (and the Heroes cards) are needed sometime, if anyone has good-condition boxes and a suitable scanner (or a good camera with a good lighting setup)
  • File types:
    • Map file: Possibly define format better?
  • Rock Raiders levels: need screenshots!

Languages

Please see Category:Language tables missing information for specific pages missing language information. "Missing" means the translation is known to exist but does not have information on this wiki - other language versions may exist that we don't know about!

  • LEGO Rock Raiders (Windows)
    • Has: English, French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Czech, Polish, Russian, Hebrew, Japanese
    • Missing: Portuguese, Korean, Chinese (China), Chinese (Taiwan)
  • LEGO Rock Raiders (PlayStation)
  • LEGO Racers
  • LEGO Island
  • LEGO Island 2
  • LEGO Racers 2

CSS Issues

This is stuff only Cyrem can take care of right now.

  • Table of Contents
    • TOC stopped being interactive based on your position on the page at some point - Cyrem hasn't been able to figure out why or how to fix it yet.
    • TOC being at bottom on mobile may be awkward, - if moving it to the top would be too then maybe making ==Level 2== sections collapsible like Wikipedia has would work? NOT RELEVANT IN THE NEW THEME
  • Page titles with colons were being weird - all colons were treated as namespaces, except for the RRUKB namespace??? Temporarily made all pages thin like mamespaces until solution is found.
